12 oz. rigatoni
1 tbsp. olive oil
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 lb. ground chicken breast
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and pepper
1/2 c. dry white wine
1 c. low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 lb. broccoli crowns, finely chopped

CHICKEN BOLOGNESE WITH RIGATONI



Chicken Bolognese with Rigatoni image

This dish calls for a mirepoix, a mixture of diced celery, carrot, and onion. Of course, you can chop these fresh, but I totally cheat and use the pre-chopped mixture from Trader Joe's. If your supermarket carries it and it fits your budget, go ahead and spend the money to save the time.

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound ground chicken (white or dark meat, or a mixture of both)
1/2 cup peeled and diced carrot
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced yellow onion (about 1/2 medium onion)
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more for the pasta water
1/2 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
One (24-ounce) jar premade spaghetti sauce (see Cook's Note)
1 pound rigatoni pasta
1 1/2 cups shredded or grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
6 tablespoons ricotta cheese, optional
Chopped fresh basil or Italian flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large, shallow saucepot over medium heat, brown the ground chicken. Add the carrot, celery, and onion and season with the salt and pepper. Continue cooking for 6 minutes, then add the Italian seasoning. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the vegetables soften and take on a little color.
  • Add the sauce to the pot and cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Cook the rigatoni according to the package instructions. Add the drained rigatoni to the sauce and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes on medium heat.
  • Serve the rigatoni and sauce topped with Parmigiano-Reggiano and a sprinkle of basil or parsley. In our family, we've always eaten rigatoni with a scoop of ricotta on the side. If it sounds good to you, add a tablespoon of ricotta to each plate.

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground chicken breast or a mix of dark and white ground chicken
1 large carrot, finely chopped
1/2 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 bay leaf
One 6-ounce can tomato paste
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup evaporated milk
Two 8-ounce (or one 16-ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound rigatoni
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Grated Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until the chicken has browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the carrots and onions and cook until the vegetables are tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic, chili powder, Italian seasoning and bay leaf and let the spices toast, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and let that toast and start to get brown on the bottom of the pot, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the white wine and simmer until the wine has been absorbed into the meat. Add the evaporated milk and cook, stirring constantly, until it has cooked down. Add the tomato sauce, salt, pepper and 1/2 cup water. Cover and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is nice and thick and hearty, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the rigatoni to al dente according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the pasta water. Remove the bay leaf from the sauce and toss the pasta with the sauce, adding the reserved water to loosen the sauce if necessary. Garnish with the parsley and serve with grated Parmesan.

RIGATONI WITH WHITE BOLOGNESE



Rigatoni With White Bolognese image

White Bolognese, a meat sauce made without tomato, is a variation you rarely see in America.

Provided by Amanda Hesser

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Extra virgin olive oil
1/2 sweet onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 medium carrots, peeled and finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound mild Italian pork sausage meat, removed from casings
1 pound ground beef (not lean)
1 1/2 cups dry Italian white wine
1 cube beef bouillon dissolved in 2 cups simmering water
1 1/2 ounces dried porcini mushrooms rehydrated in 3 cups lukewarm water
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 pound rigatoni
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Add enough oil to a large, deep sauté pan to coat the base and place over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the onion, carrots and celery and sauté until glassy and just tender, about 5 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Add the sausage and beef to the pan, breaking it into walnut-size pieces, and brown well.
  • Pour in the wine and keep at a rapid simmer until the pan is almost dry. Then pour in 1 1/2 cups beef bouillon and lower the heat to medium. Simmer gently, uncovered, until the bouillon is nearly gone, stirring now and then. Meanwhile, chop the rehydrated porcini into small pieces, reserving the liquid.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add mushroom liquid to the sauce to cover the meat halfway (about 1 cup) along with the porcini and continue simmering until the sauce is loose but not soupy, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust salt and pepper; it should be highly seasoned. When the consistency is right, fold the cream in. Remove from the heat and cover.
  • When the pasta water is at a full boil, add the rigatoni and cook until still firm, but not hard, in the center. When the pasta is almost done, scoop out 1 cup of pasta water and reserve. Drain the pasta and then return it to the pot. Pour the pasta sauce on top and fold in with a wooden spoon. The pasta should not be dry. Add a little pasta water or mushroom liquid to loosen it. (It will continue to soak up sauce on the way to the table.) Serve in one large bowl or in individual bowls, passing the cheese at the table.

Tips:

  • Use a large pot: This dish requires a large pot to accommodate the chicken, vegetables, and pasta. A Dutch oven or large stockpot is a good choice.
  • Brown the chicken in batches: To ensure that the chicken is cooked evenly, brown it in batches. This will prevent the chicken from overcrowding the pot and steaming instead of browning.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onion, but you can also add other vegetables such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini.
  • Use a high-quality marinara sauce: The marinara sauce is the backbone of this dish, so it's important to use a high-quality sauce. You can either make your own or use a store-bought sauce.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This will help prevent the pasta from becoming mushy when it's added to the sauce.

Conclusion:

This chicken bolognese with rigatoni is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of tender chicken, flavorful vegetables, and rich marinara sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve with a side of crusty bread or a green salad for a complete meal.
